Seasonal guide to help you plan the perfect trip to in Tar
Summer
July–August (hot, busiest, highest prices)
May–June and September–October (milder weather, lower prices)
March–May: mild, sunny days and blossoming landscapes. Sea is still cool but warming; many outdoor activities and tours resume in late spring.
A local village celebration held in summer featuring live music, traditional food stalls, and community dances.
Regional events spanning October–November celebrating the olive harvest and truffle foraging; many nearby towns host tastings and markets.
Larger nearby towns run summer concert series, open-air theater, and art events from June to September that draw visitors from surrounding villages like Tar.
Mid-November celebrations across Istria and Croatia that mark the new wine; nearby wineries and towns host tastings and harvest events.
Expect a Mediterranean climate: dry, hot summers and mild, wetter winters. Bring sunscreen, a hat, light clothing for summer and a light jacket for evenings and shoulder seasons. Be prepared for occasional strong coastal winds (Bora and Jugo); secure sunshades and check boat/weather notices if planning sea trips.
Tar (Istria) follows typical Adriatic coastal pricing: peak hotel and apartment rates in high summer (July–August) and during major regional events; weekends and holidays push prices higher in nearby hubs (Poreč, Rovinj, Pula). Shoulder seasons (late spring and early fall) offer the best value with lower nightly rates and more availability. Winter is the cheapest time for accommodations but many tourist services and restaurants close or run limited hours. Booking 2–3 months ahead for summer, and at least a few weeks for shoulder seasons, will yield the best choices and prices.
Insider advice to help you make the most of your visit
Best reached via Pula Airport (PU) with regional bus or rental-car connections; a car is highly recommended for exploring Istria and nearby villages.
Stay in Tar or a nearby agritourism (agroturizam) property in shoulder seasons to enjoy lower prices, local food experiences, and easy day trips to Poreč, Rovinj, Motovun, and the Brijuni islands. Rent a car, book key activities in advance for summer, and plan at least one winery or truffle experience during fall.
